Bash Version: 4.3
Patch Level: 46
Release Status: release

Description:

I think the documentation is wrong about the systemwide filename that
bash reads when a login shell exits.  the manpage says
"/etc/bash.bash.logout", but the binary appears to be built with
"/etc/bash.bash_logout" (note the change from "." to "_").

0 dkg@alice:~$ man bash 2>/dev/null | grep -A2 /etc/bash.bash.logout
       /etc/bash.bash.logout
              The  systemwide  login shell cleanup file, executed when a login
              shell exits
0 dkg@alice:~$ strings $(which bash) | grep /etc/bash.bash.logout
/etc/bash.bash_logout
0 dkg@alice:~$ 

This should probably be fixed by fixing whatever generates the bash
manpage.

Regards,

        --dkg
